Great and good God, it pleasèd Thee
The God-Head to declare;
And what Thy Goodness did decree,
Thy Greatness did prepare:
Thou spak’st, and Heaven and Earth appear’d,
And answer’d to thy Call,
As if their Maker’s Voice they heard,
Which is the Creatures’ ALL.

To whom, Lord, should I Sing, but Thee,
The Maker of my Tongue?
Lord, other Lords would seize upon me,
But I to Thee belong:
As waters haste into their Sea,
And Earth into its Earth;
So let my Soul return to Thee,
From whom it had its Birth.
